well i'm sorry if i jumped out on conclusions, but i know that usually, japanese artits are not much concerned about westerner activities (no judgment, it is just a casual fact) and also as i love yamato's work, i sure was a bit more upset about a "possible" theft that i would have with anything else :) that's why i stated in the title that i would like yamato to read and answer about it it is not as if it was the 1st art theft we see here out of a RO gallery/artist, so i dont think we should react naively as if it couldn't posibly happen, anyway :)
